Palliative Care

Heartlinks Palliative Care is the missing link in the healthcare world.

Palliative Care covers those that are somewhere along the spectrum between initial diagnosis and Hospice.

Palliative Care should be initiated when an individual diagnosed with a serious and chronic illness begins to experience pain or symptoms related to their disease and is choosing to pursue treatment.

Treatment may lengthen a life span, but can often worsen or even cause undesirable symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and pain that decrease your quality of life.

Palliative Care focuses on increasing your quality of life by relieving those symptoms while you continue to seek treatment.

Our In-Home/Community-Based Care involves a Practitioner meeting with you and your family in your home where you are most comfortable. Meeting in your home not only alleviates the burden of having to travel for an appointment, but allows the Practitioner to treat you holistically in a way that is realistic for you and your situation.

Your doctors remain fully involved while the Palliative Care Specialist is working with you.
